Denver PD commemorative T-shirt

The Denver PD union is catching flak for a t-shirt they designed to commemorate the 2008 Dim National Convention. Personally I can't figure out what's wrong with it, but then again I'm a conservative.

Same here.

I went to the KMGH link and saw this....

Rogers said each Denver officer was given one of the shirts free and others are on sale for $10 each at police union offices.

Let me look into it tomorrow, I have the day off, and I'll let everyone know.

You got it.

edit:

I may just go in there and smack down $200.00 to $300.00 dollars for a few shirts, in assorted sizes and send them out to the members here.

That is, if I can't find a web site from the DPD that sells them.

I found the website for the Denver Police Protective Union (http://www.dppa.com/default.asp). They have a link for items that they sell, however, The T-Shirt was not posted. I sent an e-mail through the "contact us" link. What ever response I get I'll post here.

It wasn't approved by the socialist engineering department, that's why they're catching flak. It should have been pictures of the police hugging the masked, homegrown-terrorists and putting daisies in their barrels.

Here's the 411.....

I stopped by a DPD station and was told, that only the Denver Police Protection Association is selling them.

Here is their site.....

http://www.dppa.com/default.asp

I can't find a listing for them, but I did e-mail them requesting a shirt or 20.

I'll fill you all in when I hear from them.

Contact info

Got a response from the DPPA today. Looks like there were a few others interested in their product. The contact info is contained at the end of the message.

I'm interested in purchasing the t-shirt that has made national news.
Any t-shirt that can tick off that many liberal, patchouli scented, waste-of-space, ignorant dirtbags deserves a place of honor in my closet.

Respectfully,
Loadsmasher

p.s. You'll be needing more than 2000 prints.

That's the same e-mail I received today.

Called the receptionist, Hanna, and put in my order. Said she would call when they come in.

Picked them up last week. Have worn them out a few times. Have gotten a few "stares" from some people and a few "Thumbs up", as well.

When I picked them up, the girl behind the counter told me, they have ANOTHER waiting list for them. They seem they just "can't keep them in stock".

Here's what one looks like.

1st pic is of the front.
2nd is of the back.
